Learn one of the most effective healing modalities, Kaneko Shiatsu Anma Therapy. An integration of both a Japanese & ancient Chinese modality, each class will cover different parts of the body. We offer 6 classes as part of our Foundation classes. No prerequisites are needed.
Our next four-hour interactive class will provide you specific information about abdominal organs, their related tissues, and therapeutic techniques. Learn how abdominal therapy aids toxin cleansing and improves intestinal stagnation, which enhances brain function, reduces stress, bolsters the immune system, and slows aging. We wiil focus on the release of energy blockages through structural manipulation to open energy channels for conditions linked to the abdomen, gastrointestinal,reproductive, neuroendocrine and autonomic nervous systems
Kaneko Shiatsu Anma Therapy is an effective combination of kneading and pressure therapy using meridian lines and acupuncture points. Shiatsu, which means “finger pressure”, came from Japan over a 100 years ago. Anma, which is “pressure soothing”, and in practice includes kneading, came from China a few thousand years ago. Meridian lines are energy channels that circulate qi and blood throughout the body. Pressure points, or tsubo, in Japanese, are like tuning points that assess energy flow and will tell you whether energy is flowing or blocked, as well as in excess or deficiency.
When there is a blockage of energy flow, it can lead to health imbalances. In releasing blockages you regulate the body’s metabolism and homeostasis which benefit the tissues and cells. The benefit of Kaneko Shiatsu Anma is that it treats the person as a whole, integrating body, mind and spirit. It provides therapy for chronic, degenerative, and constitutional conditions, as well as stress management, anti-aging and immune-boosting purposes. Treatments also are provided at the local areas for pain conditions.
